Capstone Homes sets a new standard with energy-efficient homes that surpass expectations. Expertly designed and built with high-performance materials, our homes achieve ENERGY STAR® certification at the minimum.
Our homes undergo rigorous certification by RESNET-qualified professionals, ensuring compliance with stringent guidelines. Each home receives a Home Energy Rating System (HERS®) score, benchmarked against a standard new home (score of 100). Existing resale homes typically score significantly higher. The lower the HERS® Score, the greater the energy efficiency.
Every one-point drop in HERS® Score translates to a 1% reduction in energy consumption, yielding substantial monthly savings. Capstone Homes surpasses industry norms with ENERGY STAR®-certified homes scoring in the 60s, achieving 40% more efficiency, and Zero Energy Ready Homes scoring in the 50s, reaching 50% more efficiency. We proudly uphold certifications from ENERGY STAR®, Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH), WaterSense® and Indoor AirPlus.
Our homes earn the ENERGY STAR® certification with these Capstone Homes standard features:
ENERGY STAR®-certified appliances redefine quality and performance, saving up to 50% in energy consumption. Equipped with modern technology, they reduce pollutants, decrease energy costs and deliver luxury and convenience without compromise.
Maximize energy efficiency with a programmable thermostat, expertly adjusting temperatures to match your daily routine and lifestyle. Customizable settings ensure optimal heating and cooling usage, resulting in savings of up to 30% on energy consumption.
Capstone Homes is committed to building energy-efficient homes that conserve our water resources. We select faucets, toilets and showerheads with the WaterSense® label, an EPA program that certifies high-quality fixtures that use at least 20% less water than standard fixtures. This ensures superior performance while saving on energy.
Experience significant energy savings with Low-E-coated windows, reducing energy loss by 30% to 50% compared to traditional windows. These microscopically thin, innovative coatings bond seamlessly to the glass, preserving clarity and visibility while effectively blocking heat and UV rays, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and comfort.
Our premium R21 open cell foam insulation surpasses traditional batt insulation in performance and reliability, increasing your home’s energy efficiency. This advanced insulation fills gaps around outlets, pipes and wires, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Plus, cellulose insulation boasts exceptional benefits, including fire resistance, mold prevention, insect deterrence and rodent protection, providing unparalleled peace of mind.
A home’s energy efficiency begins at its core. Did you know that 60% of heat loss occurs in the top eight inches of an uninsulated stem wall and slab edge? Insulating this critical area unlocks tremendous energy savings. A properly insulated slab annually saves homeowners at least $200 in energy costs and significantly enhances living space comfort.
Enhance your home’s comfort with advanced airflow solutions. While undercutting doors is standard practice, it falls short in ensuring seamless airflow. Upgrade to transfer grilles or jump ducts, expertly connecting rooms to central returns, ensuring consistent comfort, eliminating slamming doors and providing effortless air circulation throughout your home.
A well-insulated home deserves a superior furnace. We carefully select top-rated furnaces exceeding 95% efficiency, boasting cutting-edge technology, exceptional performance and durability. Enjoy lasting assurance with comprehensive warranties, expert service and dedicated support.
Independent third-party inspections guarantee exceptional quality and energy efficiency in every home, as RESNET-certified providers conduct comprehensive assessments combining on-site testing and blueprint analysis to verify adherence to rigorous standards, ensuring optimal energy performance, certification excellence and unwavering quality.
